A multisensor high-temperature signaling framework for triggering daytime thermomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis [PDF]

Nature Communications
The phytochrome B (phyB) photoreceptor and EARLY FLOWERING 3 (ELF3) are two major plant thermosensors that monitor high temperatures primarily at night. However, high temperatures naturally occur during the daytime; the mechanism of daytime thermosensing

Decreased cold‐sensing function of the transient receptor potential channel TRPM8 from tailed amphibians [PDF]

FEBS Open Bio
Sensing environmental temperature is a complex process involving an array of channels expressed by nociceptive sensory neurons but is critical to allow animals to move away from suboptimal environments and find environments with ideal temperatures ...

Evidence that the TRPV1 S1-S4 membrane domain contributes to thermosensing

Nature Communications, 2020
The TRPV1 ion channel is a heat-sensing receptor that is also activated by vanilloid compounds, but the molecular underpinnings of thermosensing have remained elusive.

Is Thermosensing Property of RNA Thermometers Unique? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
A large number of studies have been dedicated to identify the structural and sequence based features of RNA thermometers, mRNAs that regulate their translation initiation rate with temperature.

Commensal to pathogen switch in Streptococcus pneumoniae is influenced by a thermosensing master regulator. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens
Opportunistic pathogens switch from a commensal to pathogenic state by sensing and responding to a variety of environmental cues, including temperature fluctuations.

Dual Minimization of Spectrum Overlap for High-Sensitivity, High-Temperature Sensing [PDF]

Sensors
Minimizing the spectrum overlaps of energy transfer (ET) is necessary but not sufficient for achieving high-sensitivity film thermosensing. Herein we have designed two blue emitters of DBA-BPAc and Z-DBABH exhibiting blue and bluish-green emissions ...

G protein-coupled receptor-based thermosensation determines temperature acclimatization of Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]

Nature Communications
Animals must sense and acclimatize to environmental temperatures for survival, yet their thermosensing mechanisms other than transient receptor potential (TRP) channels remain poorly understood.

Thermosensory Roles of G Protein-Coupled Receptors and Other Cellular Factors in Animals. [PDF]

Bioessays
Recent studies have revealed GPCR functions in temperature sensation. This article introduces dual thermosensing via GPCRs and TRP channels associated with the intracellular signaling components and cellular factors such as lipid interactions and pH changes, highlighting the complexity of the temperature sensing mechanism.

Ecological Adaptation Mechanisms Underlying Successful Plant Reproduction. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
During floral induction, various environmental and endogenous signals converge to regulate the florigen protein, which is transported from leaves to the SAM to initiate flowering. Within the SAM, a complex network of receptor kinases and small peptides orchestrates floral development with high spatiotemporal precision.
